The option for mobile networks is greyed out after I tried to flash a TWRP recovery, but that failed, so now the 'Mobile Networks' option is disabled in settings. I can't access the recovery mode, because that makes my phone turn on and off and on and off until I force shut it off or until it runs out of battery, but I can access the bootloader if that helps. I have tried to reset it, but that doesn't work, and I don't know why? Does anyone know how to fix this, because I payed €250 for this phone, and now it doesn't work. Thanks!

Hello everyone!
My first post here, so you guys better outshine me!
So my nephew locked my sister SG1 i9000, and I've tried most of the methods to unlock it. As far as I know she don't got a google account synced with the phone.
Following methods did NOT work:
Vol up+home key; off button
hooking it up with the PC
[email protected] / null
Does anyone know what to do to unlock it? I don't care about data loss or such, I just want to unlock it.
Thanks!
If you don't care about losing ur personal files, boot into recovery mode (hold "Volume Up+Home+Power" as you turn on your device).
You'll see a list of options to choose from. In this menu, touch screen does not work. Use volume up and down to navigate up and down on the menu and "power" to select.
You'll see "factory reset". Go there and select it.
Reboot your phone.
This should make your phone go back original default settings with all the accounts cleared, also screenlock to original sweep glass unlock.

Yeah. I can confirm this works. Had to do it to a friends LG. So different phone but some problem.

yeah, go to recovery(volumeup+home+powerbutton)
try turning off your phone by removing battery and go to recovery as you turn your phone.

if still doesn't work: do the download mode, then use odin in pc, connect your phone to pc. and flash speedmod kernel. and install rom that works in odin. like the XXJVS 2.3.4 rom. u can find it here in xda, install via odin and done. like phone is brand new.
Samsungs are by far the easiest Android phones to flash. Be happy that you don't have a locked bootloader like Motorola. Flash a new ROM in download mode, and your problems are easily solved...

Tried the vol up+home method; factory reset and it still doesn't work. Tried once more, and this time i removed the battery. Still no result except that all data is cleared.
I've also tried to connect it to the PC but my computer does not "find" the cellphone. Do I need some kind of program? (Like a samsung version of PC Companion for SE)
Thanks for your replies!
You need the samsung USB drivers for your PC to see the phone.
you can download the drivers from

just make sure you select the right drivers for your operating system x86 or x64

Hi guys. I dont have my nexus 7 yet but i am seeing that people can only get into recovery move by using usb.
Maybe you guys could try this app created by FRANCO.
its a simple app you download it, go to youre apps and drop the "reboot recovery app" to your home screen.
i am unable to test it but if it works, its got to be better than using usb.
please report back if you try it.

the issue is, we can't get in without an app, or USB connected to PC. when we select recovery from bootloader, it just hangs. when using an app, adb, or bootloader while connected to a PC, it enters recovery fine.

Hello guys,
So i flashed CM 10.1 on my Sony Xperia Z but i have a problem. All of a sudden the phone crashed and when i rebooted it, i had no cell reception anymore. What i've done to make it work again:
- Flash back to stock: no probel with cell reception, evertything works but back in cyanogenmod it fails again
- Format /cache, /data and /system with CWM
- Updated to the latest version of CM
- I called *#*#4636#*#* and tried to turn on the radio in 'phone information' (=> button always says "turn on radio")
- restore permissions in CWM
So what i've found on XDA:
Apparently i don't have an imei number when under CM, but I do have a valid number when using the stock rom. I checked some threads
on XDA and they all say I have to restore the /efs folder (or the nv_data.bin file in it). I checked the root of my phone, but there isn't any /efs folder... So no luck there.
What now? Or is it just the rom that aint finished? What would be strange because it did work.
Thank you for your help
Don't worry dude..... Turn WiFi off and turn on airplane mode.... Reboot the phone..... Nd turn off airplane mode

I also struggle with a lost IMEI after using CM 10.2.
But your trick did not work for me :crying:
Hello..
I have a problem trying to instal cyanogenmod on my phone.
First I have all drivers updated, I can actually use my phone as pen drive, I have the lg software working and etc,
But When I try to use SmartFlash Tool, there is no connection the "Com Port" to select. The phone isn't found.
Then I tryed "Unlock Root Tool", and it worked well.
I used "Root Checker", and it says that my phone is rooted.
But now I need to flash a new room, but I can't access the custom recovery menu.
I installed clockworkmod, and tryed to flash the recovery menu, it says downloading until 100%, then change to flashing, and stays there. won't go anywhere.
when I try to flash rom from the rom manager, it stops working.
When I try to reebot into recovery, it reboots the phone, but don't go into any menu, it does a factory reset, and I have my phone clean again.
What can I do?
Thank you.

Hey Guys,
I tried doing the CF auto root thing after I got this phone and now my recovery doesn't do anything. So i reflashed stock then OEM Locked.
Well now for the recovery i just see an android guy with his antennas moving and the blue thing spinning on his belly and the ROM wont boot and I can't do anything.
Can anyone help me?
Don't think so. What instructions told you to OEM lock your phone before you made sure it was working?

Did you try holding power and tap volume up? that should get you to recovery... if that works... you might want to consider flashing twrp so you can atleast do a backup... rooting without a backup is a bad idea in my books.. if you mess up you cant go back only reflash and hope for the best...
Did you reboot between flashing and oem relock? some have bricked doing that....
Not sure what making a backup would do at this point, or how he could install twrp with stock unrooted and bootloader locked.
I can't think of any options with no USB debugging enabled and without factory unlock checked.

There are no options.
Also USB debugging is irrelevant
